Rally driver Asad Khan dies

Asad Khan, who was allegedly assaulted by his girlfriend rally driver Maxine Wahome, has now been pronounced dead.

Khan, who was also a rally driver, died on Sunday at Avenue hospital where he was receiving treatment following the incident.

He had initially been admitted to the Nairobi Hospital’s High Dependency Unit (HDU) with serious deep cuts on the right ankle.

The deceased’s family members had earlier Wednesday made a plea to members of the public for blood donation as he was in critical condition.

“We wish to request all friends and well-wishers to kindly keep him in your prayers. The hospital team at Avenue hospital ICU require 5 pints of blood group A+ or O+ for his ongoing treatment,” read the statement from the family.

Asad’s girlfriend, Wahome, was released on a Ksh.100,000 cash bail pending investigations into the alleged assault incident.

She was arrested on December 12, 2022 at his apartment in Kilimani after Asad’s brother, Adila Khan, reported the matter to the police after being informed of the incident by the management of the residence.

According to a court report seen by Citizen Digital, Kilimani Police Station officers visited the scene and found that Asad had already been rushed to hospital, whereas Wahome was still present but appeared “disturbed since some household goods were littered on the floor and staircase.”

“On further examination, one of the window pane glasses was broken as well as two door window pane glasses were also broken,” added the court document.

“The scene was documented where forensic evidence to wit blood stains and other items were collected and the respondent was escorted to Kilimani Police Station where she was booked for the offence of grievous harm,” added the report.
